I have read all over the internet including on this website about losing Shadowmere. Apparently if Shadowmere dies she will re-spawn in that spot in 14 days. However way more than 14 in-game days have passed and I am not sure where she would have died if she did die (I don't recall her dying). Would she not come find me if she did die and she re-spawned?

I dont usually use him. I just need him right now to boost my two handed, destruction, etc levels to 100 is all. I need to get to level 78 for Legendary dragon achievement. With my luck some glitch removed him from the game.

The same happened to me and I never found the horse again but one day I fast travelled and shadowmere randomly spawned again. This can also happen quite often with followers disappearing too. Hope this helps

Happened to me (PS3) when I was fighting some trolls and mammoths. Had to map to quite a few of their locations before I found him again, standing around as if nothing had happened.

But if you just need him for upping your destruction level, you could go to the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary instead. If you have the prison rack you can use them to the same effect (but they need to be healed!)

Yeah I could always use that, and just use some sort of restoration spell or something to heal them.

i did the quest to steal Frost and accidentally kept it now Frost is dead and i can't find Shadowmere. anyone else had this problem? i haven't tried the 10 day or 14 day wait like i've read about yet but i was curious if anyone else had dealt with this before.

Why Not?

There are 2 ways to get her back

1. Revert to prior save (that's why Bethesda gave use 999 save slots)
2. Wait (I have yet to try this on Shadowmere, as I always use #1 and she has not died yet)
On PS3 #2 never worked

Shadowmere is not essential and can die, unlike his counterpart in Oblivion. However, 10 days later, he will respawn at the location of his death.

i had actually just read about the waiting method just before posting. i'm relatively new to Skyrim and i'm just getting the hang off the glitches and exploits. or at least what few still exist. mostly i just wanted to toss it out there to keep someone else from having the same problem. i hadn't read about anything like this happening to anyone else.
